Compactness of the unit ball in the space of Radon measures w.r.t. the Kantorovich-Rubinstein norm
This question was posted previously but has not attracted any responses so I am repharising it in a slightly different language hoping to reach a wider community
Let $(X,d)$ be a pointed metric space ...

Complex Borel measures: does $\mu_n \to \mu$ weakly imply $|\mu|(\Theta) \le \liminf_n |\mu_n|(\Theta)$ for every open subset $\Theta$?
Let
$\Omega$ be a metric space,
$C_b(\Omega)$ the space of all real-valued bounded continuous functions on $\Omega$, and
$\mathcal{M}(\Omega)$ the space of all finite signed Borel measures on $\Omega$...

Complex Borel measures: relation between the total variation norm of a measure and those of its real and imaginary parts
Let $X$ be a metric space and $\mathcal B$ its Borel $\sigma$-algebra. For $B \in \mathcal B$ we denote by $\Pi(B)$ the collection of all finite measurable partitions of $B$, i.e.,
$$
\Pi(B)=\left\{\...

Vague convergence: confusion about the regularity of a signed Radon measure and that of its variation
I'm reading a proof of below theorem from this paper.
Theorem A.3. Let $\Omega$ be a locally compact normal Hausdorff space. Let $\left\{\mu_n\right\} \cup\{\mu\} \subset \mathcal{M}(\Omega)$ and ...

Let $E$ be Banach, $\mu_n\to\mu$ weakly on a locally compact $X$, and $f \in C_b(X, E)$. Does $\int f\mathrm d\mu_n\to\int f\mathrm d\mu$ in norm?
Let
$X$ be a metric space,
$(E, |\cdot|)$ a Banach space
$\mathcal M(X)$ the space of all finite signed Borel measures on $X$,
$\mathcal C_b(X)$ be the space of real-valued bounded continuous ...

Is the space of Radon measures a Polish space or at least separable?
Background: I work on a SPDE problem where in order to apply Prokhorov's theorem I need that some measure space is Polish space. And additionaly it would be good if that space is Banach space. Earlier ...

Proving that family of sets has non-empty intersection
Let's say I have an object which can be viewed as family of sets $\mathfrak{S} \subseteq 2^S$, and I want to prove that its intersection is non-empty. What is known already:
$S$ is set of measurable ...

Does this metric have an official name? Lévy metric? Ky Fan metric?
Let $X$ and $Y$ be random variables taking values in a separable metric space $(S,d)$. The metric I have in mind is
$$\rho(X,Y) = \mathbb{E}[\min\{d(X,Y),1\}]$$
if $X$ and $Y$ take values in the a ...

Is the Hausdorff metric on sub-$\sigma$-fields separable?
Let $(X,\mu,\mathcal{F})$ be a probability space. The paper Equiconvergence of Martingales by Edward Boylan introduced a pseudometric on sub-$\sigma$-fields (sub-$\sigma$-algebras) of $\mathcal{F}$ ...
